We've only briefly seen anything on Fusion: Genesis, a twin stick shooter that blends in MMO elements from upstart studio Starfire. The game's soundtrack was created by ex-Rare employee Steve Burke, who has soundtrack credits that include Kameo, Viva Pinata, and even the music you hear on your Xbox 360 dashboard. Apparently Fusion: Genesis is nearing release and Steve was kind enough to release the game's one hour and twenty-two minute sountrack for free.

Several industry veterans have left developer Rare to form a small development house called Starfire Studios. Their first game is an Xbox Live Arcade game called Fusion: Genesis, a title that is being published by Microsoft Game Studios. What is it exactly and why is it so exciting? The game is a twin stick shooter at its core set in the future, while those may be a dime a dozen on XBLA - this one does something different - it combines the action of a twin stick space shooter with several elements of MMOs.
